International Media Awards 2019

The International Media Awards will be held again in 2019. The awards recognise journalists and editors who have made outstanding contributions towards fostering understanding in the Middle East and around the world. Over 150 people from the world of business, politics and the media were in attendance to celebrate the work of some of the most dedicated journalists who in many instances have put their very lives on the line in the name of credible journalism and exposing the truth.

The prizes are divided into several different categories including the Peace through Media Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Cutting Edge Award, the Breakaway Award, the New Ground and the Outstanding Contribution to Broadcasting Award. As is tradition, winners are given the gift of an olive tree, a symbol of peace to represent their sacrifice and untiring efforts.
